Wedge Weave, by Connie Lippert www.connielippert.com
April 11-13, 2025
The Class Description:
In contrast to most weaves which are woven in a plane horizontal to the loom, wedge weave is woven on the diagonal. This results in a weft-faced weaving with many distinctive characteristics and exciting design potential. Work on your own pre-warped loom to explore wedge weave through hands-on experience as well as with detailed handouts and images.
Class Level:
Students should have warping and weaving knowledge. Some weft-faced weaving experience is helpful, though not required.
This class if full, with a waiting list. If you want to be added to the waiting list, contact Jenni Jimmerson
